No Booze?!
Interestingly while based at Abbey Wood I went home in uniform via Sainsbury's to do the weekly shop (the joys of Food Allowance) and this obviously included wine.
I was informed at the checkout that I was not allowed to be sold alcohol as I was in uniform. After a short "chat" with the store manager it transpired that this is policy for the police. I did point out that the gore-tex I was wearing said ROYAL NAVY on the front and offered the good ID card and trundled off with my wine and apology.
Whilst unimpressed at first it is maybe difficult for a new checkout operator who is only told 'do not serve people in uniform'...
